What to do. I liked the cabinet that was originally there, but thought it was too small and I wasn't thrilled with the scrolls on the top. So I got my handy dandy floor sliders out and started to move furniture. The minute I put the china closet in this space I just knew that it belonged. It was a perfect marriage!
So, what do you think. Did I make the right choice moving the china closet into the living room?
I started to add some of my favorite things but it still needs a lot of tweaking. I'm thinking a couple of small wicker boxes might do the trick and I'm sure I'll change it around a dozen times before it's complete!
I now have only one dilema......what do I do with the first cabinet? Wait until you see my next post on this room. I painted it today and boy am I tired!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
I'll be linking up with:
I think you made an excellent choice. Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look.
ReplyDeleteIt looks absolutley made to go there. Love it!
ReplyDeleteMarianne, I love the new furniture and the old. Have you considered using the scroll one in a guest room or family room?
ReplyDeleteI think it is gorgeous...I love the broken pediment style top. The new piece is fabulous and I love the items you have chosen to place inside and on the top. Thanks for joining Linky Followers. I'm now following you on it and hope you will follow me, too. Thanks, Helen
I Love it in the living room! Great choice!
ReplyDeleteLook beautiful!
Wow, did you make the right choice of where to position the hutch!
ReplyDeleteLove it there! It's a great piece....sort of looks like a library now. Linda
ReplyDeleteIt looks wonderful! We had our "china" cabinet in the living room for many years with antique dolls and books. It's back in the DR now, but with the same items.
ReplyDeleteIMHO it only needs to be in the dining room if it is actually displaying china/dinnerware.
Thanks for sharing,

oh, no. It's the wrong choice. It needs to come to my house to live. I have the perfect spot!
ReplyDeletekidding aside, it look beautiful there. Great job! Karen -- Texas

Perfect in the living room! You're going to love having it there, and if you're anything like me, you'll enjoy changing it around with the seasons/holidays. I hope you'll visit back. I think I have two posts on my china cabinet. I'm your newest Linky Follower.

Perfect spot! Mahogany cabinets are great, they will go anywhere. Love the curtains by the way.
ReplyDeleteOh Lovely, another blue & white lover! I wish I lived close enough you wouldn't of had to worry about Craigslist or anything else. My mom had this exact China Cabinet with the matching buffet and dinette set. But I'm the collector of blue and white and always loved how it looked with dark stained wood.
ReplyDeleteI'm your new follower and would love if you would follow back and link this post to my Frugal Treasures Party going on right now.
Thanks so much for sharing and will be following regularly.
Love the cabinet! Would never part with it! The look is great there and I especially like your drapes.
